Antenna options for SV-ADSB-472

[blue172]

The SV-ADSB-472 receiver installed with my SkyView HDX is working great with the included monopole rod antenna. However it seems really fragile and susceptible to breakage. Would another transponder antenna like the Comant CI-105-6 work as an acceptable substitute to the monopole antenna for ADSB-IN?

Yes. See page 14-9 of the Installation Guide.

OK, Thanks. Didn't see this:

Antennas available include (but are not limited to):
...
Rami AV-74 (TSO’d)

The Spruce product page for the AV-74 says: "This antenna is a direct replacement for the CI-105".
Seems like a match but I would be happy to hear any real-world PIREPs on the matter.

This is what I'm running for both ADSB and transponder (two separate antennae) - it's physically the same rod and ball assembly, just encased in RF-transparent epoxy. Much stronger and more aerodynamic.
